Portugal - Ireland. Predicted line-ups and latest news

On 11 June, the Portuguese national team will finish their preparations for the European Championship with a friendly match against Ireland.

The teams are approaching this match in slightly different moods. Roberto Martinez's wards lost the last meeting, losing to Croatia 1:2. The Irish defeated Hungary with a similar score.

However, after the face-to-face meeting, the teams will have different tasks. The Portuguese will start at Euro 2024 in a week with a match against Czechia, but the Irish players will go home and will be preparing for the next season.

As for the line-ups, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet taken part in his team's friendlies, so we can assume that Roberto Martinez will give him game time before the start of the European Championship.

The Portugal manager may make changes to the squad that started the match on Saturday, with Joao Cancelo, Jota and Antonio Silva likely to feature alongside Ronaldo.

Bruno Fernandes, Joao Palinha and Vitinha should retain their places in midfield, while Mateusz Nunes and Joao Neves will make an appearance as the game progresses.

Rafael Leao is also in contention for a place in the starting line-up for Euro 2024, and the Milan forward could potentially get another 45 minutes of action.

When it comes to the Irish, John O'Shea may field the same line-up that recently defeated Hungary in the last match.

Adam Ida scored his fourth international goal in the 2-1 win, but Troy Parrott could also be in the starting line-up, as his goal off the bench against Hungary was his country's fifth.

Sheamus Coleman should again captain the team in the centre of defence, while Robbie Brady and Shane Duffy should also feature in the starting line-up.

Based on these facts, the Dailysports team has prepared predicted line-ups for the Portugal vs Ireland match.
